This crater is interesting because it formed only twenty-two years ago. From July 19 to 26, 2001, during a massive eruption that caused ground fractures and new vents across the southeastern side of Etna, a new cone began to grow right in the middle of a small valley of a lake that formed from melting snow and remained until late summer before evaporating. The new summit was named after the former lake from which it emerged.
